Weather Station Wireless Internet Solar Powered Wireless Internet Remote Monitoring Weather Station
Ambient Weather WS-1400-IP Observer Solar Powered Wireless Internet Remote Monitoring Weather Station Couldn't be happier. Seems like a great weather
station, especially considering the price. Other reviewers have already
commented on how easy it is to set it up; I can confirm that. Also, I
couldn't find good info anywhere on the size of the included, small
mounting pole. Turns out, it fits perfectly on 1-inch EMT conduit; and I
mean perfectly. Slides right on, nice and snug. A very helpful
gentleman at HomeDepot helped me figure that out. Drilled a small hole
through both poles, put a self-tapping screw in and now it's rock-solid.
Purchased a $15 antenna chimney mounting kit, mounted a 5-ft piece of
the 1-inch conduit I just mentioned, and the weather station sits up
nice and high on my roof, and dutifully reports weather to
Wunderground.com every ~15 seconds. I downloaded the Wunderground
"Wunderstation" iPad app which is basically the console. It shows
everything the station reports, including the indoor temp and humidity
from the separate indoor sensor and also give you historical graphs,
etc. This very nice (and free) app kind of makes the console you get
with the WS1200 obsolete. I had a question about calibration values and
emailed AW's customer service. I received a very helpful email the next
day so that further increased my positive experience I've had so far.
Originally I wanted to get the Cadillac of home weather stations, the
Davis Vantage Pro2, but by the time you get it, add the UV sensors that
are included with the WS1400 and the software required to connect to the
internet, you're looking at around $1200. The $150 was much more
palatable and, based on my very informal and unscientific sampling, I'm
not sure you get that much more accuracy by spending the extra grand Weather Station Wireless Internet Solar Powered Wireless Internet Remote Monitoring Weather Station
